her skin looks red and irritated is she biting at it herself like it’s itchy?
do you have other ducks and is it possible she is being picked on and feathers pulled out by the others?

i think to start i might spray the red area with some vetericyn .

Thank you, I got the spray and applied ointment. Donut (the duck with the raw skin) will not leave it alone I’ve been watching very closely and none of the other ducks are messing with it. Could it be because it recently just got it feathers? Or what would cause this in very worried.:/

Have you looked for mites? they will be black and smaller than a pepper flake . They are very fast too. Ducks don't usually get external parasites if they have a way to wash in a pool etc.
Feathers coming in can be itchy but that looks extreme. like something other than feathers has irritated her skin.

I have never had a duck pick on itself like this. I would separate her and possibly put that blu coat on it that is supposed to stop pecking and picking on themselves possibly. I agree with Miss Lydia, she must have mites or something in order to be picking at herself. Good luck in getting her better soon.

I didn't say she must have mites but it is something that the OP can check pretty quickly and eliminate as the problem.
